ABSTRACT

Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 22 años con hepatocarcinoma fibrolamelar agresivo, metastásico, de rápida evolución y con una rara forma de comienzo, como una encefalopatía hiperamoniémica. El hepatocarcinoma fibrolamelar es un tumor hepático raro, que se presenta en pacientes jóvenes, sin antecedentes de hepatopatía viral o cirrótica. Su etiología es desconocida, y tradicionalmente fue considerado como de mejor pronóstico que el carcinoma hepatocelular clásico.


We present the case of a young woman, 22 years old, with an aggressive form of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma. She began with the signs and symptoms of a hyperammonemic encephalopathy, an uncommon form of presentation. Fibrolamellar carcinoma is a rare liver tumor, which affects young patients without previous liver disease. Its etiology is unknown, and it has been considered as a tumor with a better prognosis than the classic hepatocellular carcinoma.
